Hypotonia market information: by types (acquired hypotonia), diagnosis (physical examination, muscle biopsy) treatment (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, drugs) end user (hospitals & clinics) - Global forecast till 2023

It can be characterised by delayed psychomotor development, intellectual disability, truncal hypotonia (reduced muscle strength), spasticity (contracted and stiff muscles), and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage).

Additionally, hypotonia of the oropharynx, hypersalivation, and multiple telangiectasia in the lower extremities were diagnosed.

He was noted to have hypotonia and depressed reflexes.

While 62.5% of karyotypically abnormal children had hypotonia, 23% of normal children had the same.

At 21 months of age, she was referred for genetic assessment because of delayed psychomotor development, generalized hypotonia, low height, and hypertrichosis.

Some typical features of PWS infants, such as hypotonia and inability to suck necessitating tube feeding, are also common in unaffected preterm infants.

Physical examination revealed jaundice of the skin and sclera, generalized hypotonia, dry skin, bilateral club feet and hepatomegaly.

SGS was first presented by Sugarman and Vogel in a 17-year-old boy with plagiocephaly, multiple craniofacial, vertebral and skeletal anomalies, umbilical and inguinal hernia, hypotonia and mental retardation.

She had a flat occiput, high forehead, capillary haemangiomas (forehead), hypertelorism, upward slanting palpebral fissure, bilateral epicanthic folds, posteriorly angulated ears, small nose and mouth, long philtrum, full cheeks, micrognathia, short and broad neck, widely spaced nipples and severe hypotonia (Figure 1a).

The disorder is characterized by hypotonia, feeding difficulties, seizures, dysmorphic facial features, psychomotor retardation, and connective tissue anomalies (1).

Signs of Panayiotopoulos syndrome include emesis, cyanosis, pallor, changes in intestinal motility, gaze deviation, hypotonia, confusion, and unresponsiveness.

The classical triad in infantile CD is hypotonia, macrocephaly, and head lag (4).

suffered some type of brain damage either in uteroization or during birth, which resulted in Hypotonia (commonly known as floppy baby syndrome) and Encephalopathy (abnormal brain function or structure).

Advocating for Accurate Assessment towards Quality Care in Hypotonia. In this paper, the authors report on attempts in ensuring this quality of care and in advocating for a reduction in clinical assessment error in children who present with hypotonia, a symptom of an array of neurological and genetic conditions.
